Who else is up checking their basements with PTSD?

I'm not sure if this should be under "seeking advice, relationship, or vent but here goes!

I (32M) have been with my wife (33F) for 13 years. Married 10. We have been through some hard times together and everything was fine. Lots of love, good relationship, etc.

When we started for a child there were a couple miscarriages that took a toll on our mental health but hers much more so (understandably). We successfully do have a 5 year old now but since the first pregnancy her mental health deteriorated.

Anxiety spiked, covid hits, post partum, caregiver stress. Lots came to the surface. Add this with physical health issues such as Imbalanced hormones, weight gain from medication causing her to spiral on not being able to lose weight, the relationship really has fallen apart.

I support her and help her through everything. She has outright told me she feels no physical attraction for me and that she is fine with how things are which really hurts. Which she does acknowledge it's unfair to me but little to no progress has been made. I would say we are roommates and co-parents at this point. We have not been intimate in 5 years, no hugs, kisses, hand holding, nothing.

We have both been to therapy, her ongoing, I've seen a couple and honestly its just expensive vent sessions and hearing some nice validation of my feelings.

We have been to individual therapy, have been to couples therapy, have started with a sex/intimacy therapist. But that was put on hold as we came to the conclusion nothing can really be done between US until she gets things a bit more under control.

My biggest issue now is how I proceed. Her mental health and continual crisis prevent me from opening up to her, I don't want to add anything or more stress to her plate. I know it's not fair to me but I'm surviving. I'm just spinning my wheels in a relationship that functions for our kiddo and life but I'm not happy.

TLDR: my wife's mental health issues has caused out relationship to deteriorate. I don't know how to bring this up without making her mental health worse. Just wait it out or throw the grenade and stand there.

Hi all, this may not be the right sub but I'm wondering how I can implement AI even in a very basic level to my work processes.

I've read a bunch of other posts talking about this and have done a small Google course. I'm not deep tech knowledgeable but I'm pretty savvy and understand computer processes and logic. I can craft good promts and get results when needed.

For background I work in specialty medical equipment procurement for the public with government subsidies. So not straight up sales, more like a vendor and product expert when the need comes up. For example, grandma is prescribed a wheelchair when she comes out of hospital.

I meet with therapists and clients, measure and recommend components. Build and fit custom assemblies. Decades of knowledge and experience making me the resource.

At this point all I have been able to figure out to use AI for is formatting client referral information into a coversheet for a medical chart.... I don't have meetings or research document that need summarization, I don't make reports or presentations, I don't need to generate images or videos via use of multimodal AI models.....

In my role I can't find where I can truly add it in to streamline what I do. Just wondering if anyone has suggestions? I'll try to provide feedback.
